Abstract

Aquifers are subterranean reservoirs of freshwater with heterotrophic bacterial communities attached to the sediments and free-living in the groundwater. In the present study, mesocosms were used to assess factors controlling the diversity and activity of the subsurface bacterial community. The assimilation of 13C, derived from 13C-acetate, was monitored to determine whether the sediment-associated and free-living bacterial community would respond similarly to the presence of protozoan grazers. We observed a dynamic response in the sediment-associated bacterial community and none in the free-living community. The disparity in these observations highlights the importance of the sediment-associated bacterial community in the subsurface carbon cycle.

In-situ 187Os/188Os ratios are determined on Os-rich platinum-group minerals in podiform chromitites both in the Proterozoic ophiolite, Eastern Desert, Egypt, and in the Phanerozoic Oman ophiolite. Because they have very ...

The production rate and isotopic composition of H2 derived from radiolytic
reactions in H2O were measured to assess the importance of radiolytic H2 in subsurface
environments and to determine whether its isotopic signature ...
